Haunting - Part 11

Summary: a family visit and an unexpected visitor from the Netherworld. BJ’s free trial of life is set to expire.

Read Part 10 here

Read Part 12 here

Somewhere along the line, you realised that you were beginning to enjoy having another person to share the house with. Despite your misgivings about Betelgeuse early on, you were more than delighted to find that you got along quite well together as friends.

You rarely felt lonely anymore and the house was never quiet because Lawrence never ran out of things to say, regardless of whether he was talking to you or himself or the odd cat that mysteriously ended up being fed tuna (which you didn’t buy) every once in a while.

Now, things were finally settling down into a pattern of normalcy for the both of you; with Lawrence landing a job as an apprentice at the local tailor shop and your family coming over to stay, things were finally beginning to look up.

You were cooking up a storm in the kitchen with Beej hanging over your shoulder like a wolf, hungering after any little morsel of taste-tester-food that he could get his hands on. Cooking was still a skill he had yet to master, and despite the major improvement from his first try that nearly burnt down the kitchen, you still banned him from helping out that night, bidding him watch you work instead.

He gave you company, like a somewhat uninvited shadow that trailed you wherever you went and today, he was telling yet another story of his time making “nachos” with Katherine Hepburn. Whether or not those were actually nachos they made, you didn’t really want to find out considering that “baby oil” struck an honourable mention as an ingredient. You had half an ear to listen, giving little noises of affirmation as he continued on, occasionally holding up a spoonful of whatever you were making for him to try which he latched on to immediately like a fish on a line.

“Ooh hoh hoh! BABY! That’s delectable right there, I’m telling ya! You sure know how to make a guy fall head over heels for ya!”

“What can I say, the key to the heart is through the stomach!” Playfully you slapped his tummy as you moved to set the spoon aside.

“Can’t complain, babes. Who taught you to cook anyway?”

“My mother did!”

“EUGCH.” Betelgeuse nearly gagged on his own spit.

“Oh come on, not every mother is abusive and crushes their kid’s self esteem on a daily basis Beej. Give her a chance!” You chided.

The sound of the doorbell echoed down the hallway. “Oh! They’re early!” You stared down at your hands, covered in meat juice from the chicken you had just begun to marinade. “Uhh, Beej, can you do me a favour and get the door for me please? Just act natural!”

“... you trust me to open the door for your parents?” Betelgeuse eyed you curiously.

“Yeah?” You confirmed like it was the most trivial thing in the world and he was asking a question like ‘why is water wet?’.

“Why’re you asking?”

“Oh ya know I figured because of my past history of accidentally terrifying the delivery guys, I wouldn’t have the greatest track record for opening doors in a non-threatening way. Aren’t you afraid I’m gonna scare em off with how weird I am?”

“I trust you not to do that. You got that job didn’t you? That just proves your social skills have gotten significantly better.”

“Ok then, but if they go running, it’s not on me!”

“Right on, hotshot! They won’t run, you got this!”

Shuffling to the front door, Betelgeuse could feel his palms getting uncharacteristically clammy as he reached for the knob before taking a deep breath and pulling it open abruptly.

“Oh! Hello! We’re looking for Y/N, we’re their parents. I don’t think we’ve met before?” They were a little shocked by how violently he had jerked open the door, but apart from that, all seemed well. So far.

“Oh, right! Well it’s great to meet you too, I’m Lawrence, Y/N’s uh... housemate!”

You had discussed with Betelgeuse about who he should be introduced to them as. Telling them that you were now shotgun married to him and had been for the past couple months, was a ballsy option that would likely be taken as “troubling news” instead of “welcome news” and so you both decided to settle on the title of “housemate” instead. Non-threatening, totally normal, always-has-been-human-his-entire-life housemate.

“Well this is a surprise! They were never one to keep housemates, you’re the first we’ve seen!” A moment of awkward silence passed as Betelgeuse stood eye to eye with your parents in the doorway. Clearing her throat, she spoke up, “well, uh, Lawrence, do you think you could let us in to see them?”

“Huh? Oh yeah! Right this way! They’re in the kitchen!”

—-

The dinner went on as well as well could be, and best of all to your surprise, your parents got along surprisingly well with Lawrence. You were content in that moment, the people who made you happiest in your life gathered together with you. You were sure to snap a picture of the moment to frame for later.

But unbeknownst to the happy little gathering, a storm was about to crash.

The sudden drop in temperature in the room sent chills down your spine and you were reminded of the time it announced Betelgeuse’s arrival when he was still dead.

“Oh no.”

Watching the colour drain from Betelgeuse’s face, you could tell that something was most definitely very very wrong. The horror in your parent’s faces told the same story. Something or rather someone which you suspected was not of the living was here.

Swivelling, you were met with a steely eyed lady dressed immaculately in a red suit jacket and pencil skirt. Her eyebrows, drawn high and tight to follow her natural brow line made her look like she was incensed. Between her tiny lips which she constantly pursed into an eternal pout, she took a puff from a smoking cigar, exhaling the smoke from a jagged bloody opening across her throat.

There was a moment of silence as she reluctantly dropped her cigar and stamped it forcefully into the wood floor, mushing it in with her heel until nothing but a mangled mess of what it once had been remained, squashed like a clove of ashy garlic.

Betelgeuse broke out into a cold sweat and swallowed, trying to force a shaky smile. “Mummm! Haha...”

Juno.

“LAWRENCE.” Leaning forward like she might nearly topple onto the dining table, she planted a hand on your chair and pointed another toward the offending person, her hooked nails seeming almost clawed. You gulped at the unexpected proximity. Taking a whiff, you could smell the strong tobacco staining her clothing along with a hint of mothballs and very powdery perfume.

“YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BOY, I SHOULD’VE KNOWN YOU WERE UP TO NO GOOD. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAPERWORK THIS HAS CAUSED ME??!”

You wondered briefly if this was her normal volume of speaking. Across from you, Lawrence was not doing well at all, shrinking into his seat like a flower wilting under Juno’s gaze.

“WELL IT DOESNT MATTER NOW. IM HERE TO DELIVER A MANDATORY NOTICE AS AN IMMEDIATE DIRECTIVE FROM THE HIGHER UPS IN THE NETHERWORLD.”

“What’s wrong?” Betelgeuse asked, confused.

Reaching into the blazer pocket, she procured a sealed letter and placed it in front of you.

“WHAT’S WRONG? WHAT’S WRONG?? ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU DON’T KNOW BOY?UNDER THE ‘ACT OF UNHOLY MARRIAGE BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEAD’ SECTION 214.13.6 OF THE HANDBOOK FOR THE RECENTLY DECEASED IT STATES THAT THE UNION OF UNHOLY MATRIMONY MUST BE CONSUMMATED WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY OR THE MARRIAGE WILL BE CONSIDERED NULL AND YOUR STATUS AS A LIVING PERSON WILL BE REVOKED INDEFINITELY.”

“WAIT A MINUTE, my handbook never had that clause in it. It isn’t mentioned.”

“WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU READ THROUGH THAT DANG HANDBOOK? THEY UPDATED IT IN 1764. BUT YOU WOULDN’T KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU THINK ‘I KNOW THIS BOOK BACK TO FRONT’.” Swaying exaggeratedly side to side, she mockingly imitated his cocky swagger.

“By ‘consummate’.. what exactly does that involve?” Now it was your turn to shake like a leaf as Juno glared daggers into you. The severity of the situation had just ramped up by 100.

“YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS. BUT.. A KISS WITH THE CONSENSUAL INTENT OF ROMANTIC LOVE WILL SUFFICE.”

“Oh, a kiss? Easy. Come here, Beej.” Without hesitating, you leaned over the table, to give him a quick peck on the lips, turning back around to see if it satisfied the hawk-eyed civil servant perched behind you.

“NO. IT HAS TO BE WITH THE INTENT OF ROMANTIC LOVE. YOU’LL KNOW WHEN YOU’VE SUCCEEDED.”

Whatever did that mean?

Betelgeuse’s heart sank, crushed under the weight of his mother’s judgement and the realisation that you didn’t feel that way about him. Holding him in her severe gaze, Juno addressed her son again, laughing at the look of despair on his face.

She was right. Who would ever want to love him?

“WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT LOVE HUH? YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO FIND IT. HAH. YOU’VE JUST EXPOSED THIS AS THE PAPER MARRIAGE IT IS. NONETHELESS, YOU HAVE ONE MONTH LEFT BEFORE YOUR TIME IS UP. ENJOY YOUR BRIEF LIFE, LAWRENCE.”

Cackling, she began to fade away into a nondescript wave of smoke.

You began running your mouth, the minute she was out of sight.

“Oh my god. That woman has some gall to come in here insulting you like that!” You scowled, in distaste. “One day, we’ll show her. But we have to check over the handbook she was talking about, I don’t want any more hidden surprises... Lawrence?”

You didn’t think you had ever seen him cry before, but here he was, sniffling, trying to disappear into his chair. “It’s no use. How could you ever love me?”

“Don’t day that! You’re my best friend, Beej! We can find some other way maybe. Investigate a bit.” You said hopefully. You never intended or expected to remain married or to fall in love with Betelgeuse and this news had hit you like a roundhouse kick in the guts.

“Hey,” you said, coming over to hug him and as you did, you lowered your voice to whisper in his ear. “We still have month. A lot can happen in a month... and maybe love is on the table too. Nothing’s set in stone, Beej. So let’s pick ourselves up and solve this problem. Together.”

‘You really shouldn’t be giving a dying man false hope.” He said hoarsely between sobs.

‘Who’s to say the hope is false? All we can do is do what we can to the best of our ability and the rest is to hoping.”

Your parents, stricken from what had just transpired stated wide eyed at you. Suddenly your mum cleared her throat. “So... When were you going to tell us that you got married?”

You were in for a long night of explanations.

Thoughts on the Beetlejuice 2 movie?

Honestly . . . .

*deep breath*

Michael Keaton said that Beetlejuice was "lightning in a bottle." They had no idea WTF they were doing and whether anyone would like it. All the cast members were fairly unknown then; there were no Movie Stars as the main characters. Tim Burton was still on the Hollywood fringe. So everybody involved was pretty unselfconscious about it. Beetlejuice was sort of the equivalent of, "Hey, guys, let's make a goofy scary movie with a bunch of cheap-ass stop-motion, it'll be a fuckin' hoot!"

I remember hearing about it at the time. All the Entertainment Industry was saying, "Burton's next film sounds absolutely ridiculous. It's had three rewrites already."

They were stunned when it became massive hit.

This time Warner Bros, Burton & Co. know Beej has a huge fandom. So they're making the film with that in mind. And, in my humble opinion, when you self-consciously make something to please people you get clunky and messy.

Michael Keaton, bless his heart and I love the guy, is too old. He's 72. I have a lot of doubts whether he can capture the manic energy of Beej again. I mean, he basically created the character, but still, I've seen Keaton in recent roles and I definitely notice he's way older. The little bit I saw of him as Batman in The Flash made me cringe a bit.

I don't know the sequel's plot, but if they have Beej going after Lydia's daughter Imma gonna be pissed. I only Ship Beej + Lyds. I'd love Beej trying to win back older Lydia, and her, now a woman who is/was evidently married (maybe), and who has a kid, fighting against temptation. What 50+ year old woman wouldn't want to leave dull middle-age and hook up with a poltergeist?

The moment I saw this

I really ground my teeth. It made me think of the old Robot Chicken skit of Beej married with a kid, still going to see Lydia. But Beej married????? NO no no nono.

If Beej is Lydia's kid's father . . . they're going to have to fill me in on all the backstory about THAT.

I don't trust the screenwriters to have gotten it right. I don't trust Tim Burton. His last several movies have all been shit (I enjoy Dumbo in spite of its many, crappy flaws). It's like Burton comes up with great ideas and then fucks up their execution. I haven't seen Wednesday so maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's bounced back. But I'm worried he Greenlit the Beej project because he thought, "We're getting too old, we need to do this now, before either Keaton or me dies," so he accepted a less than polished screenplay.

I want to be proven wrong. I want to walk out of Beetlejuice 2 laughing and yelling, "IT WAS FANTASTIC!" I'd love that.

I don't believe for a second I will.

What do you think, Anon?

Also, it better not have any references to that wet turd of a musical. I doubt it will. Both Michael Keaton and Tim Burton kept their distance from it. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons Burton decided to greenlight the sequel was to return Beetlejuice to its original canon. He and Keaton, who basically invented Beej, had no involvement whatsoever with the musical; that was all Warner Brothers' baby.

Lydia: Beetlejuice was banned from the chicken shack, so we had to go out of town to get some.

Beetlejuice: Well, they shouldn’t say “all you can eat” if they don’t mean it.

Lydia: Beej, you ate a chair.

@publicabsent said: "there's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet, no matter where you live."

"sure," percy agrees, sliding a plate to her friend: a chicken salad sandwich cut diagonally, with a side of sliced apples. they're both haunted, she knows that, but it seems like poor nettie is always getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the spirits she encounters. percy can still see the marks from the last time the other medium went missing, and something twists unpleasantly in her chest. but that's not what they're talking about. "but there's no rule book that says they have to be as annoying as him." mr. ghost-with-the-most. percy wants to roll her eyes, and he's not even in the room.

"i'm serious, nettie, if he's ever giving you too much trouble i'll deal with him for a while." she knows annette probably won't take her up on the offer, but it's a serious one. she deserves some peace, and at least percy gets some enjoyment and satisfaction out of petty arguments with ghosts. demons. whatever the hell beej is.

THE SUNSET TREE.

"If you touch her, I will not hesitate to break every bone in your hand."

A/N: I decided that I'll be doing prompt fills/writing requests in between my longer fics! If you have any prompts or requests you'd like to see, shoot me an ask with the prompt, character(s) and/or ship you'd like! They'll probably be between 3k-5k but with my track record, who knows.

Anyway, onto the fic!

Prompt: "If you touch her, I will not hesitate to break every bone in your hand." Requester: @beetlejuicebrainrot Warnings: Predatory behavior (some schmuck), mild violence Word Count: 1,786 Read on AO3

The mall was crowded, which wasn't surprising for 1 PM on a Saturday. Beetlejuice chattered excitedly beside Lydia as they headed towards the food court, his arms heavy-laden with bags from the various stores they had stopped at. Most of it were things that Lydia had picked out, some clothes, a couple of games, and some other crap, though Beetlejuice had gotten a few things as well.

They were saving Hot Topic and Spencer's for last, knowing they'd blow the majority of their budget on the two stores. Beetlejuice liked the band shirts and the barely-safe anime girl shirts, as well as any striped shit either store had, whereas Lydia went for the box dies, anything with belts and ripped tights and the anime she liked to watch.

She really needed to convince Beej to pierce his ears. At Claire's. It wasn't the same if you didn't get a wicked infection from their shitty-ass gun. She was still working on the argument she'd use, but she already had about a dozen earrings picked out for him to wear.

Other than the budget issue, the other reason the two stores were last was because they had a little game every time they went to the mall. Whoever could steal the most buttons without getting caught won. Beej had Spencer's, and Lydia had Hot Topic. The other would distract the workers and pay for the non-button items. Fuck capitalism.

Dropping their shit at one of the cleaner, empty tables, Lydia sat down, pulling out her phone to see if anyone had messaged her while she had been distracted. The only text she had was from Delia, saying to call her when they were ready to be picked up, though she did have a few Discord notifications from her friends.

"Hey, what'd'ya want from the Homophobic Chicken Place?" Beetlejuice asked, leaning half-way across the table to get her attention. When she didn't look up quick enough he plucked her phone from her hand and pretended to eat it.

"Hey!" she snatched it back and slapped him on the shoulder, only making him laugh loud enough that the tables around them shot them dirty looks. Shove off, they were in a public spot, if they wanted to be loud they would. "Why do you always want that? Aren't you, you know, being a class traitor?"

Beetlejuice snorted and flashed her a toothy grin. "Like that matters to me, plus, 's not like it's our money. If anything, it's your dad and Delia who're the traitors. And, I mean, their chicken's the best, way better than that Popeye's shit. And c'mon, waffle fries? You can't go wrong with waffle fries. So, what do ya want? Or starve, I don't give a shit."

"Get me some nugs, and a milkshake," she shoved his face away until he was off the table and began to go through one of the bags to show her friends what she got. "Don't forget the sauces." She knew he wouldn't, he liked to combine and drink the leftover sauces like some kind of middle-schooler, but better remind him just in case.

"Alright, I'll get all the sauce for you, every single one they have," he sing-songed as he grabbed her wallet and headed towards the ever-growing line.

Lydia found what she was looking for and pulled it out, taking a quick picture to send in her different servers. As she was typing out a good message to go along with it, she saw someone sit across from her. Assuming it was Beetlejuice, she quirked an eyebrow without looking up. "What did you forget, dumbass? Your brain?"

"Well, looking at ya makes me forget my own name, doll, does that count?"

That… wasn't Beej. Lydia put her phone down and took in the person sitting across from her. Some skinny dude in an ahegao shirt, and the beginnings of a neckbeard stared back at her with a smug smile. Lydia curled her lip at him, which only made him grin harder.

"Can I help you?" she asked, not bothering to hide her disgust

"Maybe you can. See, I've been watching you for a little bit, and my buddies bet I'd be too chicken-shit to ask you out."

"Creepy," she muttered, fiddling with her phone. She debated texting Beej, but a glance at the line showed he was ordering and she didn't want to bother him. She was old enough to handle creepy dudes herself, she could do this. "Dude, I'm 15."

"And I'm only 22," he shrugged, missing the point completely. "We could be in the same school, if I had gotten held back a few years. So, what do you say?"

"Ugh, yeahh, I don't think so. Can you leave?" She narrowed her eyes at him, but his expression didn't change. "I don't even know who you are, creep."

"Oh, I am so sorry! I forgot to introduce myself!" The guy got out of the chair and onto a knee, grabbing her hand tight enough she couldn't pull away. He brought it up to his lips and kissed it, ignoring her grossed out protests, and winked. "I'm Johnathon Giles, at your service. And, I could really be of service."

She kicked him in the knee, and he winced. "Ohh, feisty, I like that."

"What the hell is wrong with you, douchebag? Leave me alone," She ripped her hand out of his, wiping it on her leggings and aiming another kick at him. He stood up and shimmied behind her. "Fuck off."

"Come on, babe, I'll-" He started, hand curling around her shoulder. His words were cut off by a pained whimper and Lydia craned her head around to see Beetlejuice had the man's arm twisted behind his back.

"If you touch her, I will not hesitate to break every bone in your hand," Beetlejuice warned coldly, releasing him and shoving him away a few steps. He stood at Lydia's side and she was sure if it weren't for the glamor he had on, and the beanie covering his hair, his anger would be extremely evident.

"Who's this guy? Your boyfriend? You sure know how to pick 'em, girl," the man rubbed his shoulder before grinning down at Beetlejuice. He was taller than Beej by quite a bit, but Beej had several pounds on the twig. "Hey, I'm up for a threesome."

"Listen, I'm a very sexual being," Beetlejuice grinned, though it lacked any humor. Even pretending to be human, there was suddenly something dangerous about him, a sharp warning. Lydia always forgot how scary Beetlejuice could be when he wanted. "And I do love a good threesome, but not with creepy guys who pick on little girls. And especially not with fuckers who can't take a no."

Johnathon stood up fully and his face finally changed from the overly friendly smile he had plastered on into a glare. "She didn't say no."

"She told you to fuck off, I'm pretty sure me and the rest of the fuckin' mall heard it," Beetlejuice tilted his head slightly to the side as he took in the man before him.

Johnathon scoffed and turned back to Lydia. "What do you say we ditch your fatass boyfriend and go have some real fun, sweety." He made the mistake of touching one of her hands that she had curled over her phone and Beetlejuice stepped forward menacingly.

"I warned ya," he growled, eyes narrowed into slits. In a movement that was impressively quick, he had the guy in a headlock, arm twisted so hard behind his back Lydia heard an audible pop as it dislocated. Johnathon made an alarmed, pained noise, but something kept him from screaming. "You're lucky I'm not allowed to kill ya," he hissed, twisting his arm further until Johnathon was begging for mercy. "Because no one messes with my little sister."

"S-s-s-she's your sister?" the guy yelped, squeaking sharply as his arm was wrenched further behind him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go, I'll go!! Ow, ow, ow, you're going to break my arm!"

"Get the fuck outta here, before I really do break it." He let go of the guy and Johnathon stumbled forward only to be stopped by Beetlejuice grabbing him by the uninjured shoulder. He whirled around and Beetlejuice kneed him in the junk, making him bite out a pained, cut-off shriek as he doubled over. "That's for being a fucking creep."

"Fuck you," the guy spat, glaring up at Beetlejuice with watering eyes. Beetlejuice just raised an eyebrow and stepped forward, cracking his knuckles, and the guy balked and ran back to his friends who all immediately started laying into him.

Turning back to Lydia, he tilted his head, all anger gone and replaced by worry. "He didn't hurt'cha did he?"

"No, he just grossed me out a little. You wouldn't happen to have any hand sanitizer on you?" She regretted not wearing a pair of gloves today, she could still feel his lips against her hand. Beetlejuice dug around in his pockets before his eyes lit up and he pulled out a travel-sized, fruity-scented bottle of sanitizer.

"Was gonna drink this but here ya go," he offered it to her and she snagged it from his hands before opening it.

"You're weird. Why not just drink a soda?"

"Doesn't burn the same," he shrugged, accepting it back and shoving it back into his pocket for later. She raised her eyebrows as she rubbed her hands together and he grinned. "What?"

"You're weird. Hey, what about the food?"

He gestured to two bags and two drinks on the table, the opposite side from where everything had happened. "I got it to go. Wanna bounce or?"

She thought about it. She could still feel the dude's eyes glaring at her from across the food court, well, at Beetlejuice really. But she had a feeling he wouldn't be a problem, and plus they still had to end with their game! It wouldn't be a trip to the mall without it!

"Mmm, nah, we still have to go to the best stores here," she decided, grabbing the closest bag and opening it. "Also I totally had that under control. I always carry a knife and mace on me."

Beetlejuice took the seat across from her and grinned, knowing she was right. "Yeah, but what kind of bro would I be if I let someone pick on ya? A bad one, that's what. Plus, I'd never hear the end of it from Chuck 'n Adam, y'know? And…" Lydia tossed him his stupid sandwich and he thankfully ripped the paper open instead of taking a bite through it. "I like beating up people sometimes."

"You need help, dude."

"Ha!"

You know the chicken from Moana? Pirate Zhuk finds a chicken that's just so fucking stupid he has to adopt it. Discuss.

-Its name is Stuart.

-Who decided it was named Stuart? No one knows. That’s just what its called now.

-He sings to the damn thing.

-This stupid fucking chicken has a fucking five foot vertical jump and just hops up into his arms

-Bajo is convinced that chicken is the devil

-”El pollo diablo!”

-has tried to kick Stuart.

-Zhuk casually ripped his leg off and beat his ass with it

-the chicken laughed

-its actually an eldritch entity.

-pretending to be a dumb fucking chicken because it likes the attention

-no one fucks with Zhuk’s chicken

Your reader's a bit of a chicken when it came to admitting their feelings for Beej but after they start dating what if they flip it and they're the one who says I love you first, catching Beej off guard. Not that he doesn't feel it too.

Saying I love you first

Okay

You say it so casually, yet soft and sorta embarrassed, the two of you were going to bed.

You had to get up for an appointment early in the morning, so the two of you wouldnt be intimate till tomorrow, since the ghoul had a nasty habbit of keeping you up all night

As you lay down next to the demon and cuddle I to him chest, he whispers a soft "night babes"

You yawn and reply "night Bee" before following it with a soft "I love you" as you snuggle up.

There is a long pause of silence, before beetlejuice quickly sits up knocking you forward, his hair glowing pink with hints of purple mixed in

"What did you say?"

"Night bee?" You mumble, anxious you saying you loved him was wrong

"A-after that" the demon started down at you hard, in the dark it was hard to read his expression, though you could feel his eyes on you

You remain silent for a moment, before quietly admitting "I said I love you"

The room filled with silence, you wanted to just vanish, how could you let something like that slip?! Beetlejuice is a demon, yeah the two of you like each other alot, but love? That was probably a stretch for him, honestly you felt like you were gonna start crying.

"Really?" His voice was quiet, you simply nodded.

"Fuck" he uttered "I, wow, what did I do to deserve this? Wow, babes, y/n, I love you too, how could I not? You let me do whatever I want, find me funny, find me sexy, and above all you WANT me, you want me around, like really want me around" beetlejuice babbled as he pulled you into a tight embrace, practically glowing pink, illuminating the room.

"You're not mad?" You whisper

Beetlejuice cackles at the suggestion "mad? Babes, I've been trying to say that to you since day one, that god slash satan you did it first" he squeezes you

"Oh"

A few moments pass as the two of you hold each other before you feel the familiar squeeze of Beetlejuice's wander hand on your bum

"Beej?"

"How bout we celebrate this new little step in our relationship?" The ghoul pulls back wiggling his eyebrows at you hoping that would be enough to get you to agree

"I guess I could reshecdual my appointment-" you didnt even finish the sentence before the ghoul was on you, pinning you to the bed with the familiar creek of the bed frame.

"Good cuz kitten you ain't sleeping tonight" beetlejuice purrs

"Oh Lawrence~♡"

"I love you y/n♡"
